It has never been harder to find good employees. Government handouts and programs, publicly traded behemoths with an insatiable appetite for front-line staff, and a burgeoning gig-economy has made hiring extremely hard for small business owners. The golden question is how do we attract good talent and then retain them long-term? How do I determine rates of compensation for my highest performers that are always demanding raises? How do I scale my business without having to constantly micro-manage my Team when they are in the field working?
The answer is Pay-For-Performance (P4P).
I know the frustration of growing a home service business and trying to motivate your workforce while balancing the budget with rising costs of doing business. P4P allowed me to grow my lawn care business past 7-figures in annual revenue and now we have dozens of locations around North America. In a sentence, P4P pays employees a percentage of the labor revenue they earn for the business. It is that simple. The rest of the P4P system ensures that quality standards are upheld and that employees don’t speed through work or damage Customer property. If you are tired of babysitting employees, tired of offering low-paying, dead-end jobs, tired of seeing employees waste time, money, and their own potential, I encourage you to diligently implement P4P and see it transform your business.
